- Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil; tolerates sandy or loamy conditions.
- Watering:
  - New Plants: Water deeply 1-2 times per week until established.
  - Established Plants: Drought-tolerant; occasional deep watering during dry spells is enough.
- Fertilization:
  - Minimal feeding needed. A light, balanced fertilizer in early spring promotes blooms.
  - Avoid over-fertilization, which can cause weak stems.

  - Deadhead spent blooms to encourage longer flowering.
  - Cut back stems after blooming to keep plants tidy.
